• FYI, Snow Leopard 10.6.2 (x86-modified Hazard distro) under VirtualBox 3.2.8 (no OS X Guest Additions supported) seems to be an order of magnitude slower than VMware Snow Leopard 10.6.2 Retail with VMware Tools (torrent: “Mac OS X 10.6.2 Virtual Machine for VMware”). Core 2 Quad, Raptor RAID 0, Windows 7 host, 2GB guest RAM.
• Run Vanilla OS X El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra or Mojave in VirtualBox 5.x.x on a Windows Host. Following on from my previous guide on how to create a VMware virtual machine running Vanilla OS X El Capitan in Windows, I’ve decided to write a similar guide for creating a VirtualBox El Capitan VM.
• Failed to open a session for the virtual machine OS X El Capitan Final. The virtual machine ‘OS X El Capitan Final’ has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1). More details may be available in ‘C: Users avtech VirtualBox VMs OS X El Capitan Final Logs VBoxHardening.log’. Result Code: EFAIL (0x80004005).
• Open it up and click the “New” button. Name your Virtual Machine “High Sierra,” and choose “Mac OS X” for the operating system and “Mac OS X (64-bit)” for the version (as of this writing, “macOS High Sierra” is not offered, but that’s fine.) Continue through the process.
• Click on Devices at the top of the VirtualBox window, hit CD/DVD Devices and click Unmount CD/DVD Device. Then go to Machine Reset and click Reset at the prompt. Next you'll see the Chameleon.
• When the installation completes, before restarting Click on Devices at the top of the VirtualBox window, hit CD/DVD Devices and click Unmount CD/DVD Device. Next you’ll see the Chameleon loader and then OS X will begin to boot. After it boots you will see the setup screens for OS X! You’re good to go.

The following installation script:

• ..is free and open-source
• ..requires only VirtualBox with its Extension Pack and dependencies that can be easily installed in a single command with most open-source package managers
• ..downloads macOS Catalina, Mojave and High Sierra directly from Apple's servers
• ..installs macOS without modifying the original Apple binaries and without third-party bootloaders
• ..creates a VM that is compatible with OpenCore and can be exported (with manual modifications) to KVM/QEMU for near-native performance
• ..runs on Linux, Windows (WSL, Cygwin), and macOS
